    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. A sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, it was released on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on April 28, 2023. The game received generally favorable reviews.
    The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor™, a third-person, galaxy-spanning, action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. This narratively driven, single-player title picks up 5 years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™ and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness. Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar. As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times - but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?

      Review scores and review text are wholly distinct things: So, PC Gamer can trash the game in its written review all day long, but as long as it feeds an "8" or better into the review aggregators, the publishers won't bristle at it and revoke access.

    You should have frametimes in the left corner as well, it’s a good way to visualize stutters. Even if the framerate says 100 it can often feel a lot lower or worse due to frametimes spikes that happen when frames aren’t delivered “on time”

  • @Trio3224
    @Trio3224 Рік тому +11

    For me, one of the worst parts about a game launching broken like this is that it almost never gets coverage when it's finally fixed. For example, to this day, 2.5 years after its launch, I STILL see people on reddit asking if Cyberpunk 2077 is good yet. I really wish some outlets would cover big patches of broken games and announce when it's properly playable.
    Now for Jedi Survivor I'm going to have to look in steam forums and subreddits every week or two until I see people saying it's been fixed on PC because I don't want to have a buggy laggy stuttering experience as my first playthrough. Respawn can have my money as soon as they actually finish the game.

    To avoid loading screens, games load assets during cutscenes. Sometimes, the graphics are pushed to a higher standard during cutscenes too. But since the GPU was not used, i bet for the loading of assets, making the CPU overwhelmed and the FPS tanking.

    Theres a stutter when entering some new areas and one at the very beginning of cut scenes. There is also a really bad memory leak, which may have been patched today, but I doubt it. Restarting the game helps get it back to "normal" - also switching settings mid game apparently gums up the gears so in my experience I restart after that too.

When the hype/marketing of a game contributes more to success than the game itself, why does it NEED to come out polished?

      I was playing the previous star wars game and my 6800xt was reaching just shy of 144fps on native 1440p max settings. Looking at this games visuals there really is no excuse for a 4090 to be struggling with rt disabled.

    Honestly, it's also because there's a large portion of game journalists who play such a small amount of the game before reviewing it. I remember reading an article back around 2019 that the average time was around 5 hours for most reviewers. Which honestly isn't a large enough time period for certain games. COD games, sure, you can probably get a handle on what the game is with that time frame. Sports games are another. But when you're looking at a game with extended run time, I've noticed a lot of developers pushing all the quality into the first couple of hours but then it's bare bones in the mid to late game.
    Either way, we're just seeing the influence of non gaming suits who came to this field because they saw the dollar signs, not because they had a passion for the hobby.
    And Cyberpunk ran really well for me at launch, but I literally upgraded my rig solely for that game so I was on a higher tier hardware and that's not an option for everyone.

  • @Haxx601

    Honestly i am 100% certain the developers under EA cannot release a game in a polished state. It sucks because you know they already knew about these issues because they are literally coming out with fixes today for pc. And fixes tomorrow for Xbox and PlayStation. So that means they would have had to identify the problems in 3 days and fixed them which is definitely not possible. This really makes me believe they had been working on this before the game even launched.

  • @Kolket1389
    @Kolket1389 Рік тому

    What's crazy to me is that, back in 2019 I played Metro Exodus with my RTX 2080 , which is still to this day one of the prettiest games and in no way inferior graphically to games like The Last Of Us Remake and Jedi Survivor. I played Metro in native 4k with all the details cranked up to the max and I had around 90-100 frames throughout the whole game. Yet TLOU remake and this game played barely at 30 fps and still had moments when the game would completely freeze, and get this, it wasn't in 4k or in 2k, it barely worked in FULL HD!
    To me that's crazy, to need a 4090 in order to play the latest games is just stupid and ridiculous. If we look at raw speed 4090 is around triple the speed of 2080, yet the difference is incomparable. I cranked up Jedi Survivor to 4k just to see the difference, and I had no joke 3 FRAMES PER SECOND. So even though 4090 is maybe 3 times faster than 2080, it puts out 20 to 25 times more fps. I think that is because nVidia doesn't give the older cards the software support they need, so we'll be forced to buy the newest cards that you need to sell your kidney in order to afford...
    Maybe you guys think differently, but if I go today and buy the strongest GPU currently for sale, and it runs my games beautifully in 4k resolution. And only about 3 years later that same card barely runs games at 1080p, that's unacceptable. Especially considering the fact that the games don't look better graphically then say games from 2018. You cannot deny that there is something fishy going on.
    And btw, I cannot acceppt an excuse that EA that has been making games since 1981 and has billions of dollars cannot make a game that runs on different configs. Same goes for SONY, they make more money in one year than my country's entire GDP and they say that despite their money and experience as well as the experience of Naughty Dog, who've also have been making games for decades, cannot make a game that works on hardware that ISN'T 4080 or 4090. Especialy when they've released God of War, Horizon and Days Gone on PC who all worked great.
    PS: If it really was a mistake, they would've fixed it by now, but after months they still haven't. One of my theories besides nVidia wanting you to buy 4090, is that this is good press honestly. Look how longs have both of these games I talked about stayed in the press. Everyone talks about how broken a game is and every single patch is awaited and hyped up. Look at Cyberpunk for example, it released 2 and half years ago and every article still generated buzz...

  • @Blue_Monkey
    @Blue_Monkey Рік тому +1

    The game has definitely issues, but you seem to have little idea what you are talking about. Some examples:
    50% RAM usage on a RTX 4090 fat 21:9 1440p equates to about 12 GBs of RAM, which is a lot. It goes then up to 85%, which equates to an insane 20.4 GB. This is CRAZY.
    Some games up the graphics during cutscenes (or the nature of the cutscene demands more graphic) - in this case they seem to be loading stuff as well. Since cut scenes are like videos you watch, 30 fps is usually fine - it would be not during gameplay. 70 fps during gameplay for such a game (not high motion, but like medium-low motion) is decent-good and no issue, otherwise turn down graphics (its called EPIC for a reason).
    The difference between DLSS 2 and FSR 2 is not big in terms of quality and performance (based on a recent picture analysis I saw XeSS vs DLSS 2 vs AMD FSR 2). Contrary to your statement of it being really bad.
    The stuttering is really bad though and I rather have games compile shaders before main menu (like The Last of Us did). Really bad Quality Control by devs.

    I hate that everyone's having so many issues with the game. I'm running an i7-13700K, 3060 12GB, 32GB RAM running the game off of an Western Digital Black M.2 drive. Frame rates can get sluggish at times, especially in the open world with a lot of assets and stuff, but I've had a single crash the entire game and that was during the initial shader compilation. Other than that, I've played through a good portion of the game without any major issues other than the frame rate. It's not as high as I'd like, but it's been more than playable and I've never lost a combat incident due to frame rate issues.
    Meanwhile, The Last of Us Part I caused system crashes so bad for me that it corrupted my OS and caused me to have to reinstall Windows, with every patch making the performance vastly worse. Hope that the game gets patched soon so that everyone can enjoy it, because I've been having a lot of fun with it

    The main takeaway so far appears to be that because consoles really don't have the apparent horsepower to run 4k games appropriately, PC ports also suffer. You have to recall that Cyberpunk ran fine on PC at launch. I know because I installed in on day 1 and it ran with Ultra settings in HD on a 1070 installed on a WD Black mechanical drive. None of the model and texture loading issues that apparently plagued consoles was present. Console players really got a horrible deal, I'll give you that. In light of how poorly it ran on consoles, it comes as no surprise that 56.67% of the 18 million total units sold went to PC players.
